# Twitter

## Nitter

Nitter is a lightweight, trackerless frontend for Twitter that does not need Javascript to work. To use it, simply substitute `twitter.com` with any instance's address in the URL bar, or browse straight to the instance and look for any user or tag.

Nitter presents quite a diverse ecosystem of instances (including hidden services) and is also incredibly configurable from the frontend. I guess the only downside I can point out is that you can't write anything to it (like any other frontend here).

## Browserless alternatives

Many programs can use the Twitter API to fetch and post content from your desktop or even the command-line. I've used in the past [identicurse](https://github.com/identicurse/IdentiCurse), though it seems to be largely abandoned.
